Default Twin 40's on a zetec

Just throwing this out there at the mo to see if my understanding is right
I'm going to use a 2.0 zetec-junk the injection/inlet manifold in favor of some twin 40's.
Can I use my original gearbox off my 3i?
I know I'll need a efi flywheel and cps but how do I get that to the spark plugs at the right time?
Many thanks

I hadn't thought of bike carbs but I wanted to mix old and new skool
My shopping list so far is
Engine-is it worth skimming the head to raise comp?
Twin 40's/pressure regulator
Adaptor plate for carbs
Cvh efi flywheel/cps
LSD for my 3i box
Aftermarket management
Am I missing anything major??

Ahhhhhh..........cable ties I can "borrow"
from work
Is aftermarket management expensive??
Do I have to chop up the engine mounts or
does a company make them?

Management is around £500 upwards depending on make.
You can use different mounts from different fords to make the majority but I think 1 may need slight adaption. Someone on here should have on for sale. Or contact crazycage he'll make one up for you
